I don't like how passive MC character is and the hospital staff act like they're in high school. They gossip too much. The lack of maturity in this novel is not very appealing to read. It would have been bearable if the MC wasn't spineless

As a male surgical nurse in a huge hospital in the US I can tell you that this vibe of everyone's maturity is on a high school level when there isn't an emergency is 100% realistic. Hence why **** takes 4 plus hours to get a basic treatment at hospitals....also not just a US vibe I've done volunteer work with some docs in South American/African countries its the same maturity level. TBH doctors tend to have more spine than this MC though I agree with you there.

Thanks for you perspective! I'm surprised to hear that. But I still have to agree with CocoaButter that it not very appealing to read. Even if something somewhat resembles reality, it does not necessarily make it good writing.

MC spineless hmmm... so if you can't explain where you got your sudden rise in ability you start antagonizing your superiors in the first week you got it... I think it is much more believable for him to lay low and slowly rise...

This is the best representation of the medical genre with a system. It's kind of like Dr Ling Ran, but less 'I am too handsome' we also have interesting side characters. Just hope it doesn't become like LR and get monotonous. Hope it gets taken up

Love it! An MC who is normal, and received a system, but has to work hard. Potential female lead is actually smart! A refreshing Medical novel which I highly recommend. Read up until chapter ten as it starts off a little slow.

I really can't understand how this one got picked when plague doctor is on the list of trial read. Probably because this one are early released than plague doctor. Well, it's not the worse option on the list, but it really is not for me. That confuse hospital (that apparently don't have security), the forced development just to create a lot of face-slaps like some cultive novels and the Mc that I really can't sympathize with, when all this point are placed together on one novel, I really can't continue reading it. The good medical terminology and the fact that it's a medical novel with a system are not sufficient for hook me on this.

Horrible translation. Terribly inaccurate medical information. Possibly a good novel ruined by the translation and editor team chosen by Webnovel. I hope Webnovel gets a real translator if they decide to pick up this novel.

I started reading this because I like medical novels. It’s pretty good and I’ll definitely recommend it. The only annoying thing for me is that the MC cannot really stand up for himself and has a low EQ but I can deal with that.

Premise is nice. Quite similar to Great Doctor Ling Ran but the MC has been a doctor for 10 years, iirc, at this point. The fact that he has been a doctor for so long has basically no effect on the whole story, other than times where he quotes his "immense medical experience" when he needs to think of an excuse when using the system. Speaking of the system, it basically fades out into the background and becomes a glorified scanner and surgery streaming machine later into story. Even the streaming plot point is mostly to show the readers that the MC is, indeed, a master surgeon by making the stream viewers stare and awe at the MC's supreme godly skill. Plot progression is basically non-existent. 500 chapters in and only now is the MC starting to move up into a bigger stage. There is too much filler chapters that has mostly no impact on the overall story. The translation quality takes a dive around 300 chapters in. It starts to feel like its MTL as the pretty boy side character starts being referred to as a "she" and mob characters' titles start changing around all the time, becoming Director, CEO, President, Doctor, Teacher and such. At around page 500 it becomes basically unreadable.

Great medical novel. Although I am not in the medical field, the author made everything very easy to understand even while using all the medical jargon. This also provide a small window into the lives of doctors. With Covid-19 devastating the world and overwhelming our hospital, we can't help but have a lot more appreciation for all our hero in the medical field. This novel illustrates how our doctors, nurses, and hospital administration face battle on a daily. I know it's not exaggerated because even before Corona virus our hospitals were crowded. This novel tells you why it happens. It's a good read.

Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Thirty years old—that was the age people often referred to as the time to stand tall and firm. At this age, some were splendid and dazzling, intoxicated in a world of wealth, while others were desolate and dim, confined to rope beds and clay stoves. Lin Mo belonged to the latter. At thirty, he was still a porter, toiling away to earn a living. His daughter was bullied by a male classmate at school—simply because his family was well-off, the school chose to turn a blind eye. His wife, already pregnant, was secretly working at a supermarket to supplement the household income without his knowledge. As he lay awake looking at his wife by his side and his daughter sleeping soundly in the little bed, Lin Mo felt so aggrieved he shed tears. Despite working hard every day until his back could no longer straighten, he still couldn't change the dire state of their lives. However, it was at this time that the Daily Intelligence System suddenly awoke. [Daily Intelligence has been updated] [1. Neighbor Wang Youcai secretly used his retirement funds to tip 10,000 yuan to a beauty in a live stream under the nickname Black Chicken.] [2.
